Cesarjr Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I've tried two different setups, and UPnP will just not work unless I am only connected directly to only one router. But I needed to extend my network range and also needed to go wireless, that's why I have a router and another router I converted to a switch. Is it possible to have UPnP work in either setup? (And YES, I DO want UPnP. I don't find manual port forwarding easy for laptops and PSP's coming in and out, not to mention Windows Live Messenger.)I'll try to keep this as simple as I can. Thanks in advance for any help. Also, side note, uTorrent and UPnP work great at home, where I only have ONE Router (Linksys WRT54G); I have cable internet there, not crappy DSL provided by Qwest with horrible upload speeds as I do at work.)Setup 1:DSL Modem (Bridge Mode) | |Router (Netgear FVS318 - DHCP, UPnP Enabled, 192.168.2.1) | |Switch/ Wireless Access Point (Linksys WRT54G - DHCP off, Router Mode, Connected to regular LAN (not WAN) Port, tried UPnP both On/ Off, 192.168.2.2) | |Laptop (Windows 7 [ HECK YEAH! ], UPnP Allowed through Firewall, 192.168.2.3) | |Me (To sexy for this shirt)Setup 2:DSL Modem (Bridge Mode) | |Router (Netgear FVS318 - DHCP, UPnP Enabled, 192.168.2.1) | |Router (Linksys WRT54G - DHCP, Gateway Mode, UPnP both On/ Off, No Firewall or Any type of Filter, Dynamic Routing, Connected to WAN Port, 192.168.1.1) | |Laptop (Windows 7, 192.168.1.2) | |Me (Too sexy for these pants)Thanks again.

Ultima Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Nope, UPnP won't work normally through two routers unless the router your computer is connected to actively maps a port on the outer router (unlikely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
